Great news for Harry Potter fans as lovers of all things Wizarding World get their first glimpse of Dominic McLaughlin as the Boy Who Lived, but there are plenty of other cast and crew announcements, including Anton Lesser – Major Lio Partagaz in Andor – who succeeds the late, great John Hurt as wandmaker Garrick Ollivander.
Firstly – we have our first glimpse of our new Harry: Dominic McLaughlin, trying on the iconic glasses and robes for the very first time. No, we’re not crying.
More brilliant acting talent joins the series too, with Rory Wilmot playing Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch and Anton Lesser portraying the great wandmaker, Garrick Ollivander.
In addition, another talent behind Andor joins the crew, Emmy Award winning Brazillian cinematographer Adriano Goldman, who was DP on 6 episodes of Andor season one.
